maandag 2 september 2013 Up at 5:55. Turn on Stephanie Miller. The show is a Best Of. They talk about the boycott of Russian vodka. Wow. There are so many... Dovgan, Gold Symphony, Hrenovuha, Kauffman, Kubanskaya, Moskovskaya, Narodnaya, Putinka (Путинка)... Stolichnaya (Столичная). Russian Vodka Consumption Shocks Even Russians.

Down to Whole Foods to get some breakfast. Back to my place. Watch another hokey film from the 1950's - Missile To The Moon. Oh! Those crazy kids! Watch out for the Moon Spiders.

Turn on BBC News. Report - Brutal videos fuel Russian anti-gay campaign. The Belgian designer Kristof Buntinx has found a unique way to add to the growing worldwide protests to Russia’s new anti-gay attacks on its citizens. Designer’s ‘boxer shorts’ protest against Putin’s homophobia. To Russia with Love. Next - Monte Python and The Holy Grail. Wicked, bad, naughty Zoot!

Back to RT. Basketball. Da. The Russians are good. Баскетбол.

I'd like to think that we can re-establish something of a dialogue with the Russians. Things seem so tense lately. Just a few hoops, please.
